In the European Union, after the statements of the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, about the impossibility of signing the plan for the normalization of relations with Kosovo due to the need for its recognition, they claim that both sides previously agreed to the proposals of Brussels, and there is no need to change them.

 This was said by the representative of the EU for foreign policy and security, Peter Stano.

 "I'm just repeating the text and the statement of High Representative (Joseph) Borrell, which both leaders (of Serbia and Kosovo) agreed to. We're not going to comment on every statement or every interpretation in the region about what they agreed on. It's very clear from the text." , - he said.

 Commenting on the refusal of Belgrade and Pristina to sign this text, Stano said that "the question was not about signing, but about discussing the proposal that both sides agreed to, and there is no longer any need for further discussions about this EU proposal, which has now turned into a path agreement to the normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia".

 The EU representative added that discussions on the implementation plan will continue: "Furthermore, we have made it clear that we understand that further work will continue when it comes to discussions on implementation and providing concrete steps towards normalization of reporting."

 Earlier this week, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said he would not sign a pre-agreed plan to normalize relations with partially-recognized Kosovo because of its UN recognition and membership clauses.

 Commenting on Vucic's statements, Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti said that his opposition to Pristina's membership in the UN "would be a clear violation of Article 4 of the EU proposal."

 It will be recalled that the leaders of Serbia and the partially recognized Kosovo, Aleksandar Vucic and Albin Kurti, at a meeting in Brussels on February 27, previously supported the plan for the normalization of relations developed by France and Germany.

 Under the plan, Serbia would no longer object to Kosovo's membership in any international organization, and Kosovo would agree to the creation of a new body that would have the right to speak on behalf of all 10 Serb-majority municipalities in Kosovo.

 Both countries also undertake to support each other's accession to the EU, as well as "continue the dialogue through the mediation of the EU to conclude a legally binding comprehensive agreement on the normalization of relations."
